In the remote mountain villages of Barbagia, in Sardinia, Carnival is far more than a celebration — it is an ancient ritual that binds a people to their roots. Known as Carrasecare, this festival carries echoes of pre-Christian times, preserving gestures, masks, and rites that have survived for centuries.

For the proud “Barbaricinos,” the Carnival embodies cultural continuity and identity. It is the moment when the entire community gathers, reaffirming its unity and defying the passage of time. Among the masks, the fire, and the rhythm of the bells, this celebration becomes a living link between past and present — an immersion into the soul of Sardinia.
